The arena of fierce chess battles, series binging, novel devouring and dinner gobbling. Welcome to the hardworking heart of this family of four’s home: their ultra-flexible, configure-which-ever-way-you-please living area.
Putting the home in homework
For two teens in the thick of high school, there’s always homework to be done. While they have their own desks, they like to mix things up and often end up in the living area, sitting on one of their modular sofas or spread out under a sunbeam on a storage bench with cushions. Floor lamps mean they always have a dedicated light source and chargers are at hand to keep their devices up and running - no excuses!
A personal collection
A truly practical, storage-centric home, their living area still feels inviting. Warm accents of green and soft textiles do the trick, but the gallery wall of art and photography adds an extra layer of intimacy.
“You don’t need to have less stuff to create an organised living area - you just need to find a dedicated home for all your belongings.”

From dinner to dealing
A board game? A puzzle? Take your pick. This dining area can gear up for the family’s next board game tournament and the tray table holds all the essential drinks and snacks – easy to carry across to the kitchen when the fun and games are over.
What are we watching tonight?
While being on an outdoor adventure tops their list of favourite activities, for this family, a movie night is a close second. Rugs and cushions up the cosiness, while their modular sofas make it a breeze to reconfigure the space for optimal viewing on their projector and are just as simple to move back when it’s time to call it a night.
